The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This is an IST surveillance van (Manufactured at their facility in Florida) that we used primarily for unmanned operations. This van is a true sleeper. No one ever suspects it, even police officers flip out when seeing the inside! You could easily restore it to its former glory for about 5 to 7 thousand dollars. That is including some basic equipment so you can use it for manned operations too. (I already had an estimate to do bodywork and paint for $1800)

I only have current pictures of the outside of the vehicle. Inside pics are from 2007, but it looks pretty much the same, and has primarily been in storage the whole time. It has never been used on a case more than one day, or one parking. We have only put I believe around 4 to 6,000 miles on this van . The original retail was over $80,000, and you can still buy this year van (but with more mileage) from the manufacturer for 30K+. We are the second owner.

NAPA value on this is 7375.00

It has an electrical problem, and it will drain a battery over night. I can tell you what I know in relation to the electrical after you buy it. We pulled a lot of the wiring out that connected the back of the van, to the front engine area. Especially to the battery bank, in an attempt to trouble shoot. We kept all items removed, and since we are not electrical specialists, we (By this I mean our backyard mechanic...lol) couldn't figure it out.

It needs the following:

1. Paint and bodywork (When we removed the latter rack, we found lots of rust and some wiring holes. Most have been sealed.

2. It needs a new window motor plastic gear (we believe) for passenger door, and the door needs reassembled. I believe we have all the parts.

3. Needs equipment. If you buy this van, you can use my business account to order equipment "at cost". All you need is a minimum of 8 channel DVR; four pinhole cameras, and one incredible zoom camera for the periscope. Guessing $1500.00?

4. Periscope controller is missing, and needs new mirrors. I have never been able to use it, due to not knowing how to operate it. Any periscope company can fix this, or a electrical/mechanical engineer. But I would recommend you get it from IST, since it is their creation. Price: Unknown. Should be less than $500?

5. New batteries for battery bank under floor. (The big semi truck type)

6. Huge power inverter needs repaired. (New this unit costs over $1,000, a new replacement is over $800. It would be cheaper top repair)

7. Seat floor track cleaned. I do not know how to operate seat. Like I said, all I used this van for was unmanned operations. Either using a internet type setup, or a review later (TL-VCR) type recording device.

Equipment still in it:

1. Recarro racing seat

2. Some sort of Poloroid picture processing machine. Do not know anything about it, but it has "Poloroid" on it. Its pretty big, and its possible it is a printer of some sort. Because of where it is mounted, I believe they forgot to remove it.

3. Massive silent Ice air conditioner. Its the biggest I have ever seen. It must hold 20 bags of ice.

4. Huge equipment power switching panel. see pics with red switches.

5. Battery bank charger, built into cabinet. see pics, it is white.

6. External AC power hookup (wheel well)

7. Shotgun mount with security retained device.

8. Complete desk system.

9. Taken down, but I still have all the communications antennas that were covertly installed in the latter rack.

10. Defog fans built near every window.

Operational features: (Not sure if currently working, some items we removed wiring on, but still have all wiring & parts)

1. Van automobile AC system cools front and back. Just had it pressure tested for 8 hours no leeks, but it is not cooling. The police did upgrade the AC system to today's standards. (Also has silent ice AC that works off of bags of ice)

2. Keyed ignition in back of van. To start vehicle when batteries are running low. This is where the power inverter is suppose to kick in. We removed the inverter, but never repaired it.

3. Battery bank master switch, located in rear of van. I believe switches van from front engine power to rear battery bank.

4. Hidden microphones around exterior of van, all wiring still in place.

5. 9 camera ports (Includes motorized periscope)

6. Supposedly can run 12+ hours on DC battery power.

7. Blackout switch for brake lights, and cab lights. (If you need to relocate the van at night, this is a nice option)

8. Siren

9. Can start and adjust idle of van from rear of van.

We replaced the tires between 2 and 4 thousand miles ago at a price of $800 (Not including spare, it was replaced with a used tire)

Anyways, I hope you like. A E350 with 22,063 original miles! It is worth every penny. You can always convert it back to a cargo van too, and sell all the equipment separately. Good luck!

PLEASE NOTE: I AM SELLING THIS VAN LOCALLY ALSO, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PULL IT OFF LINE AT ANY TIME IF IT SELLS LOCALLY! THIS INCLUDES DURING THE BIDDING PROCESS! Thank you for understanding.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.

2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
